I figured I might ask here because this one has me stumped. I'm working in an organisation with around 70 users and as many laptops. A few users are having issues because certain group policies are just not applied to certain workstations. It looks like the default polices at the root of the domain are visible but all user polices under an OU are invisible when the user logs into the machine. I've verified the user is in the correct OU and the machine is in it's correct OU, and when the user logs into another machine they get their policies just fine. Group Policy Modeling shows that the policies should be applied, but Group Policy Results shows they are totally ignored. They don't even show up in "Denied GPOs" Nothing shows up in the Event Logs and I get the same result no matter what DC is handing out the policies. Any ideas?

go3 posted:if youre a MSP/VAR you should definitely be buying whatever with rotational and then upselling them the SSD yourself gently caress paying Dell or whoever for that Yeah but you're not really paying for the drive so much as the NBD swap out if one breaks. Sure an aftermarket one is cheaper but when you have to mail it in to get a replacement it kind of sucks.

I'm currently using N-Central. So far I haven't had any major issues. I don't pay the bill so I have no idea of what costs what. The Bitdefender AV isn't as good as Trend in my opinion, especially with respect to the exchange antispam/virus product. Also I know the licensing for exchange protection is kind of lame, my understanding is it is licensed per mailbox, but that includes discovery mailboxes and equipment mailboxes. So if an organisation uses equipment mailboxes heavily the cost goes right up. The latest version on N-Central (10) is much better then their last version. You'll want to get good with powershell too to really get automation under control. They have a built in automation manager that lets you do automation scripts with a GUI, it's pretty lacking at the moment and needs a bit of work with the user interface. For example you can't move program code blocks around, so if you get something set up all nice and realise it should be in a nested If function you have to re-create it, you can't just drag it down. Basically the only thing I use the Automation manager for is to encapsulate my powershell scripts into an AMP file when I want to make a custom service that returns values into N-Central. Patch management takes a while to get your head around too. I've found support to be pretty good. I mostly talk to techs in the Philippines due to my timezone however I've called their US number and got through to a US tech too. Their support portal is a bit of a mess but you get the hang of it. They have daily Q&A sessions with a support tech so you can just decide to drop in and ask a question without logging a ticket which I find really useful. They have an initial training program when you first get the product that takes you through the software, it's pretty important for everyone to attend it because there are concepts in the software (Filters, Rules and Service Templates) that you need to get your head around to correctly use the software. If you have any questions I'm happy to give you my opinion.

NevergirlsOFFICIAL posted:Why is my GPO to push o365 click to run not working but gpresult says it's applying the policy and the script works great when running manually :'( It may be that the local system account that the script is running as isn't able to access a network resource that the script relies on. Or the script is relying on an environment variable or path that is different for that account.

NevergirlsOFFICIAL posted:Let's say I have an RDS server that is accessible directly from the WAN and it's getting hit with brute force attacks. Other than AD lockout rules is there anything I can do at the perimeter to somehow say "if you put the wrong password in too many times we're just going to block your IP address for a few days" I'm guessing no because how would my firewall know that AD is rejecting the password? You can also just change the port forward in the router. It's still visible to the world but it's unlikely any brute force scripts will try non-standard ports.
